ASTER WILT RESISTANT STRAINS (**<««) 
Award of Merit Winner 1933 All America Selections 
The most pretentious Aster improvement program we have undertaken 
is the development of wilt resistant strains. Although not novelties in 
the true sense of the word, we consider these Wilt Resistant Asters 
among the most noteworthy introductions of our long experience in the 
seed business. 
The Aster wilt disease is caused by a parasitic fungus, Fusarium con- 
glutinans var. callistephi, which is carried on the seed, on cultivating 
implements and in the soil. Once introduced into the soil, the fungus 
persists indefinitely, and attacks any Asters which may be planted 
there at any time thereafter. 
Only through the use of resistant stocks is it possible successfully to 
grow Asters more than one year in the same soil.
